It seems nobody sent an answer to your questions.
I redirected your question to the new main mailing
list for Lilypond usage questions.

Simply set the textheight paper variable:
\score{
...
\paper{
textheight = 27.0\cm
...
}
}

If you want a slur between specific notes of a series of chords,
than you probably want those notes to be part a a separate voice
with separate stems. Lilypond is designed with that typographical
principle in mind.
For example, you could do something like
\context Staff <
\context Voice = upper {\voiceOne g ( a b ) c}
\context Voice = lower {\stemDown c, c d c}>

Not as far as I know.

I don't know of any direct support for that either.

No problem at all!
